stand with Medicaid

cuts to Medicaid will put MILLIONS OF patients at risk

More than 15 million Californians rely on Medi-Cal – California’s Medicaid program – for health insurance coverage, including veterans, seniors, half of all the state’s children, those with disabilities, pregnant women, and working families.

Now, Congress is weighing proposals that would slash Medicaid funding by $880 billion over the next decade. These cuts could strip millions of their coverage, gut funding for lifesaving programs, and threaten public health across the country.

At the California state level, the Governor’s revised state budget proposal makes drastic cuts to the Medi-Cal program.

Health care is not a partisan issue, it’s a human issue. Stand up for our communities and protect Medicaid and Medi-Cal today!

community HEALTH CENTERS save lives

Cutting Medicaid and Medi-Cal would not only threaten the health and lives of California’s most vulnerable patients, but also destabilize essential Community Health Centers (CHCs) like AHS.

In solidarity with over 100 community partners across the US, Asian Health Services mobilized under the One Nation Coalition in 2018 to fight against the harmful Public Charge Rule change and to promote immigrant rights and access to health care.
In 2005, Asian Health Services established the California Healthy Nail Salon Collaborative to address workplace and reproductive health issues faced by low-income Vietnamese immigrant and refugee workers. In 2016, AHS worked successfully to co-sponsor and pass the California Healthy Nail Salon Bill (AB2125).
In the early 2000s, AHS led a local campaign called "Revive Chinatown" to make Oakland Chinatown safer, more pedestrian-friendly, and economically viable. That resulted in the installation of the four-way scramble crosswalks with other lighting and sidewalk improvements in the Chinatown commercial core.
The 1978 passage of Proposition 13 threatened to eliminate crucial funding to community based organizations. AHS worked in collaboration with local community groups to galvanize our patient base to protest Prop 13 cuts. As a result of community mobilization and protests, AHS preserved critical funds at the County level, which enabled community groups to continue serving the medical needs of the AAPI community.
